You can install IBM® Business Process Manager silently
using the command line. With this method, you only need to run one
command to perform the installation.
Before you begin
If you do not have the prerequisite base products
necessary for
IBM Business Process Manager Advanced installation,
you must install them as part of the silent installation. The required
base products are:
- Installation Manager
- WebSphere® Application
Server Network
Deployment, including the ejbdeploy and thinclient features.
About this task
The silent installation
performs the following tasks:
- Installs Installation Manager if it is not already installed or
updates it to the appropriate level if it is installed.
- Installs the required base products and IBM Business Process Manager Advanced.
Only one IBM Installation Manager is required
to install multiple instances of IBM Business Process Manager.
Procedure
- Optional: Run the following
command to generate encrypted passwords using IBM Installation Manager
to securely connect to DB2 and the administrative console.
extract_directory/IM/tools/imutilsc -silent -nosplash encryptString password_to_encrypt
- Read and accept the license terms before
installing. Adding -acceptLicense to the command
line means that you accept all licenses.
- Run the following command:
extract_directory/IM/tools/imcl install list_of_product_IDs -acceptLicense -installationDirectory location -repositories repository -showVerboseProgress -log logName.log
where:
Running this command installs the product
with the default features. If you want to install specific features
or make other changes, see the reference link for the command-line
arguments for imcl.
Results
Installation Manager installs the list of products
and writes a log file to the directory that you specified. The log
file is empty if there are no errors or warnings.

What to do next
Then,
define a stand-alone server or deployment manager profile in the Profile
Management Tool or using the
manageprofiles command-line
utility. Only profiles created with the Profile Management Tool or
manageprofiles can
be used in production.
